Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had clean and well-equipped rooms with plenty of wood for the heater, but they were smaller than expected and lacked seating areas or relaxation spots, seeming cheaply built and decorated for the price. The service was friendly and welcoming, with new lodge rooms offering a great view. The location was convenient for exploring Bruny Island but lacking gas for the BBQ. The dining experience was somewhat misleading in terms of distances and breakfast options. Overall, the hotel had its positives and negatives.
I had a very comfortable and relaxing stay at the hotel. The rooms were well laid out and had everything we needed to make a meal. The staff were great, check-in was a breeze, and they were very helpful. The location was ideal, with easy access to shops and the waterfront. However, there were some issues with not having a real view and the distance from the hotel to certain amenities. The dining experience had some limitations, but the food was surprisingly good. Overall, it was a positive experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel doesn't match what should be advertised and the rooms are old, tired, and worn. However, the service was very friendly. The location is in a casual beachside setting, but the restaurant timing could have been clearer. The hotel does offer a unique set up around the villa.
